However, on this quiet night, Xu Feng's voice was like a dull thunder, breaking the relaxed atmosphere around him: "The Japanese blockade against us is becoming more and more severe. Our weapons and ammunition are becoming increasingly scarce, and food is running out. Even the supplies for the most basic life have become difficult. What is more worrying is that we have to be vigilant against their sudden raids at all times."

His words were full of worry and helplessness, like a mirror, reflecting their current predicament and revealing that they were facing not only a shortage of military equipment, but also a severe test of survival.

Tang Xiaoxiao, the smart and alert girl, heard the heaviness in Xu Feng's words. She stepped forward and asked in a firm tone: "Just tell me if there is anything you need me to do."

Xu Feng turned his gaze to Tang Xiaoxiao, his eyes flashing with respect: "Recently, comrades from the underground party sent news that the Japanese army already knows the specific location of our brigade headquarters. Political Commissar Liao and I have discussed it and decided to move the brigade headquarters tomorrow."

Tang Xiaoxiao's intuition told her that this matter was not simple. Sometimes even the most basic regiment commander could not know the location of the brigade headquarters. "How could they know our location?" she asked doubtfully.

"Yes, recently, we found that the location of the command center was always leaked inadvertently. We have investigated many times, but have never been able to find the source of the problem." Liao Zhengming, the calm political commissar, explained solemnly.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Feng and Liao Zhengming, her eyes full of determination: "Brigade Commander Xu, Political Commissar Liao, if I can provide any help, please let me know."

Xu Feng and Liao Zhengming exchanged glances. They did not look down on Tang Xiaoxiao because of her young age. They knew that in the face of such a crisis, every possible strength was precious.

"Comrade Master, we hope you can use your wisdom and ability to help us find the traitors within the brigade. After all, your Special Operations Department is unique in intelligence work."

They had laid an elaborate net for the exposed brigade headquarters, and as long as no one inside leaked the news, they were confident that they could wipe out the Japanese army in one fell swoop before the large group arrived.

Tang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "I will do my best."

"Thank you very much for your help, Comrade Tang Xiaoxiao." Xu Feng and Liao Zhengming said at the same time, their voices full of gratitude and expectation.

Tang Xiaoxiao sat under the dim oil lamp, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that this was not just a simple mission, but a challenge of life and death.

"Brigade Commander Xu, Political Commissar Liao, I need you to provide a list of all people who may have leaked information." Tang Xiaoxiao made the request, her eyes revealing calmness and concentration.

Xu Feng took out a list from his pocket, and the densely packed names on it made him feel heartbroken. These names represented his comrades-in-arms, but now they had become objects of suspicion.

"This is a list of all members of the brigade, including logistics, intelligence, combat and other departments. We have ruled out most of them, but there are still some people who cannot be identified." He handed the list to Tang Xiaoxiao.

Tang Xiaoxiao took the list and looked at each name carefully. For the next few hours, the three of them sat together and analyzed each possible person one by one.

Tang Xiaoxiao sorted out the clues in an orderly manner with her keen insight and logical reasoning. They found several suspicious points, one of which was that Wang Zhigang, a staff officer, had behaved particularly suspiciously recently and had been out a lot.

Tang Xiaoxiao, with her unique insight and superb logical analysis, methodically sorted out the complicated clues. In the team, a striking doubt surfaced, that is, the frequent outings of staff officer Wang Zhigang recently.

He claimed that he traveled to Liujia Village to visit his new wife, a bride who had recently fled there due to the war.

"Wang Zhigang," Tang Xiaoxiao pointed at the name, her eyes flashing with deep thought.

Xu Feng immediately retorted in a firm tone, "Wang Zhigang, it's impossible. Both his parents died in the atrocities committed by the Japanese army. How could he be a traitor?"

Liao Zhengming echoed, "I think so too. He has a deep hatred for the Japanese invaders. How could he possibly work for them?"

However, Tang Xiaoxiao expressed a different opinion, "But, there are indeed many doubts about the daughter-in-law he is looking for."

"Wife?" Everyone came to their senses when they heard this. Yes, she had recently come here to seek refuge, and had just appeared not long ago. There might be a major problem hidden behind this. The two looked at each other and couldn't help asking themselves, why didn't they notice this before?

Tang Xiaoxiao tapped the table lightly, her eyes deep, as if digging out the secrets hidden in the darkness.

"Wang Zhigang's 'daughter-in-law', we know nothing about her. If she came here to escape, then what about her background? Why did she choose to appear at this time? Why did she choose Wang Zhigang?" Her words were like a sharp knife, cutting through every suspicious point.

Xu Feng frowned and thought. He was a straightforward person, but at this moment he also understood that things might not be as simple as they seemed. "You are right. We overlooked this key point. If she was sent by the enemy, then what was her purpose? Could Wang Zhigang have been used without knowing it?"

As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Liao Zhengming nodded and agreed: "Yes, we can't rule out this possibility. But the question is, how do we verify it?"

Xu Feng stood up and walked to the window. The moonlight outside the window shone on him, making him look even calmer and more decisive.

Xu Feng pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with a scheming spark, and he slowly spoke: "Since conventional methods don't work, why don't we try to release false information to fish? This may help the opponent reveal a flaw."

After hearing this, Liao Zhengming nodded slightly, with a light of approval reflected in his deep eyes: "Your idea is quite novel, I think we can give it a try."

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Feng, her eyes gleaming with intelligence. "I agree. We can create some fake action plans and let Wang Zhigang complete them. If he is a traitor, he will definitely pass on this information."

Xu Feng nodded appreciatively and turned to Liao Zhengming, "Political Commissar Liao, you will be responsible for making sure this fake plan is realistic enough to lure the enemy into action. And I will go and test Wang Zhigang myself."

Liao Zhengming immediately took action and convened several senior officers to secretly discuss and formulate a false strategy that would confuse the public. They discussed several options and finally chose an action plan that seemed bold but actually harmless - pretending to attack the Japanese military airport.

At the same time, Tang Xiaoxiao began to secretly investigate Wang Zhigang's newlywed wife. She found an intelligence officer in the brigade and asked him to approach Wang Zhigang under the pretext of delivering a letter, while secretly observing his reaction.
